Om namah Sivaya!
Yoga nidra has aided me immensely in visioning a yoga farm in Devon, vivekagardens.com. I am so delighted to have been able to study with Uma and Nirlipta and yogi colleagues on the course: such creativity, subtlety of understanding and depth of knowledge. Since completing the course in June 2016 - on the magic isle of Inishmore at mid-summer - I've been sharing the practice with students in classes and workshops. We all enjoy it!
Here's my website bio, and here's the yoga nidra page.
Here are some testimonials following the Inner Guru Sivaratri themed Nidra workshops in Feb/March 2017 to encourage you to come along for workshops and retreats
Thank you for the extraordinary experience today Fiona, it was so profound and enlightening. The feeling of being completely safe and surrounded by such a lovely feeling of warmth and peace. It is something I would definitely want to repeat on a regular basis. You have a very special gift. LG
I have experienced Yoga Nidra before but nothing compared to this. Fiona is a wonderful teacher and her slow soothing tone helped to enable me to gain deep relaxation and empowering answers to some long term deep rooted questions. I will recommend Fiona’s workshops to all I know – this has been a life changing experience. GL
I had been having a difficult time in the week leading up to the workshop and it turned out I couldn’t have been headed anywhere more perfect. Fiona instantly makes you feel like you have stepped into the home of a dear friend. I think without realising it I had gone to the yoga nidra workshop to get confirmation and clarity that I was on the right path. And I most certainly came away feeling a new sense of calm and purpose as I approach the next stage of my life. I actually felt surprisingly emotional afterwards, but in a lovely way, full of humility and gratitude. I would highly recommend attending one of Fiona’s wonderful workshops whether you are looking to deepen your practice or just need to take some time out from modern life! JP, Tavistock
Here's feedback from some participants in the October Yoga Nidra for Navaratri workshops. I particularly like Naomi's description of YN as a decadent treat for the soul.
If you are a yogi and have never experienced yoga nidra you owe it to yourself to try Fiona's yoga nidra workshop. I am a longtime yogi and teacher and I had no previous experience of yoga nidra. Fiona's workshop was amazing! Her voice and pace were soothing , the atmosphere was relaxing, sending me off into state of deep relaxation. The workshop felt like a decadent treat for the soul! Naomi (Autumn Yoga Nidra Workshop)
Deeply nourishing workshop thank you. Fiona holds a lovely safe space and executes it impeccably and in a very personable way. Gavin Frank (Autumn Yoga Nidra Workshop)
Fiona led a wonderful Yoga Nidra workshop which was very nourishing and calming to mind body and soul. She explained the origins and theory behind this powerful practice as well as guiding us through gentle yoga exercises and three yoga nidra meditations. These allowed me to relaxed far more than I had for quite a while and I found the workshop really inspiring. I look forward to practising further yoga nidra and trying some of Fiona’s other workshops. Claire, October 2016
